It makes sense that Tatiana Maslany, who plays—okay, we admit it, we lost track—around a dozen different women on 

, would be a bit of an everywoman. So when she sat down with ELLE.com before the cult clone drama\'s fourth season premiere this Thursday, the conversation quickly turned to a few topics on which we vigorously co-sign—her love of the "Amys" (from Poehler to Schumer), her comedy binge-watch list, and a few choice words for online body shamers.

. There\'s so much for fans and casual viewers to keep track of—where are we at the start of the season?

] We start off in a very different place to where we were when we last saw the clones, I\'ll say that much. You\'re not going to get what you\'re expecting for episode one. 

You play about a dozen characters now. For your own sanity, do you ever ask the writers to send a clone or two out to pasture?

Yeah—but they don\'t do it. They keep adding more! 

At least you have more characters for your reel.

] Yeah, I have headshots for each character, and I hand those out on the street. Like, \'What vibe do you want?\'

What\'s the secret to juggling all these character for four seasons?

My clone double, Kathryn Alexandre, is often there in the scene with me, so I do get to act with someone. And she\'s awesome. We auditioned together. I had the part, and we auditioned someone to play my clone double and she came in and was just incredible. And the great thing was that she\'s an actor too—she\'s not just a stand in. She does all the accent work, all the movement work, she watches all the dailies. She\'s incredible. She gives me a full performance. She was integral in creating MK, a new clone this season. She comes to set with questions about the scene, or about the storylines, or about the character arc, and it always gives me insight that I wouldn\'t have had otherwise. She\'s my life support in the show, for sure. 

You were nominated for your first Emmy last year. Did you see the fans freaking out in excitement on your behalf?

That was the most exciting part about it. I\'ve never followed award shows—I\'ve just never been fascinated with that side of the industry—so it\'s always a little weird and separate for me. But to have our fans care about it so much, that it means something to them, was really nice. I was just happy I didn\'t have to get on that stage in front of all those people. I was just terrified being in that room. Gaby Hoffmann sat right in front of me, Jeffrey Tambor was just over there. I definitely geeked out on people for sure.

I geeked out on Amy Schumer. Every time I see Amy Poehler, I geek out on her. Just all the Amys, really.

You\'re a comedy lover. What should people put on their must-watch comedy lists?

, which is technically a comedy, but feels like a drama in that it\'s just so soulful. And I recently saw this great movie called

, starring Adam Scott, Jason Schwartzman, and Taylor Schilling. It\'s an awesome movie. There\'s a scene with the guys wearing prosthetic penises, and it\'s an amazing scene. That scene was so beautiful—when [Scott, who has the much-smaller prosthetic] is dancing around, naked. I\'ve never seen that kind of expression on screen. It was just so awesome, so brave, to acknowledge that body shame is such a huge thing that we all carry with us, and then to dismantle it and laugh at it. 

And to see it from a male perspective. We don\'t usually see that.

No, no, because guys aren\'t supposed to have shame about their bodies. They\'re just supposed to be strong, and if they\'re not, they\'re not a man. But so many of my guy friends struggle with the same things we do as women. 

Wentworth Miller recently wrote about how "it hurt to breathe" when he saw that a photo of him from when he\'d gained weight—taken during a dark time in his life, when he was struggling with depression—had become a meme.

I\'ll never understand that. I\'ll never, never understand why people think it\'s their business to comment on other people\'s bodies. I go to a spa in LA sometimes, a Korean day spa, and all the women there are nude. And I\'ve never felt so in love with the human form as when I\'m walking around and seeing all those bodies, thinking, Oh my god, we\'re all just built so differently. And every single body is beautiful. I will never understand that shame, and the reinforcement of that shame. It\'s crazy. 

Kim Kardashian and Emily Ratajkowski recently came under fire to for posing topless on Instagram. Ratajkowski responded that just because she posts a nude image doesn\'t mean she should be open to slut-shaming. What do you think?

[Sexuality] is so much more complex than our boobs. My sexuality isn\'t me as an object to be looked at. It\'s the way I say "hello" to somebody, the way I sit with somebody. A body is just a body. But we\'re really afraid of bodies. They hold a lot of power—I think that\'s why people can try to shame them so easily, because they are so powerful.
